Chapter 0055, Danger in the Shadows

Thinking so, Xiao Qing smiled at the corner of her mouth, she didn't dare to go to bed too late, after picking it tomorrow, she would have to go to the county town to deliver chili powder noodles, and she would also clean up the mushrooms picked and send them to the guest restaurant, so she had to go to sleep quickly, she had to go into the mountains before dawn, and she couldn't stand it if she didn't sleep early.

On the second day, when the sky was dark and he couldn't see his five fingers, Xiao Qing went to the mountains alone with a torch.

She followed the mountain road last time, thinking about the traces left every time she went up and down the mountain, and it was not difficult to explore the mountain road.

Soon, she came to the halfway up the mountainside, called out the system mall, bought sulfur powder, mothballs, animal clips, bought a few bells and some fishing lines, after buying these, the system from yesterday afternoon to morning, the number of steps that she had finally accumulated was emptied again, but these things can ensure her safety in the mountains in the future, and it is worth it.

I didn't run out of spray last time, and half of it was still in my pocket, so I saved a lot of steps with the spray.

Preparing these, Xiao Qing took advantage of the darkness and used the light of the torch to walk along the steep road last time, and then go deep into the mountains.

With the experience of the last time, Xiao Qing easily came to the bottom of the deep mountain, she found a branch to fix the torch, and then around the range where she wanted to pick mushrooms, set up a fishing line bell around the perimeter of the half-mile road, and circled the half-height position, after the position was circled, Xiao Qing began to place the traps, all in the bushes, in the grass, and behind the trees that were secret and easy to hide.

After setting up the trap, Xiao Qing's heart calmed down slightly, and she grabbed the spray in her pocket in her hand, so that she could quickly press down the spray in case something pounced on it.

It took nearly half an hour for her to do this, and she sat on the stone to rest when she was tired, picking up the fallen chestnuts on the ground.

When she rested, she picked up the chestnuts around her.

She stood up and began to pick chestnuts from the trees by the light of the fire, she was very fast, there was wind in the mountains from time to time, like a yin wind, which blew her body creepy, although Xiao Qing was not afraid of evil spirits, not afraid of fierce beasts, but afraid of some unknown creatures watching her.

Just like at this time, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her behind her, and she didn't dare to get close to her, and she was observing her movements.

That's scary!

The beast is coming, she has a trap on the beast, there is a fishing line bell, tell her the direction, wait for the beast to get close to her and press the spray, with the terrain and trees, she can also dodge, with the beast trap and the fishing line bell, even if three or four beasts attack together, she is not afraid, but this kind of staring at her behind her back, as if being peeped at, voyeurism, those eyes you don't know where, I don't know what his purpose is, how scary this is!

Xiao Qing's heart was furious, and she looked around, the boundless darkness shrouded the deep mountains, everything around was silent, the insects and birds stopped crying, occasionally insects climbed over the trees, and there was no sound after two snorts, there was nothing, her hand picking chestnuts was a little panicked, and she didn't know how many of them were wrong.

But she can only pretend to be indifferent on the surface, it seems that the thing is quite patient, I don't know if it is a human or a beast, now she can only brake quietly, wait for the person or the beast to lose patience, jump out by herself, whether it is a beast or a ghost, she is not afraid, even if it is a thief, she is not afraid, after thinking so in her heart, she is more courageous, and the movements of her hands are back unhurried, and she does not look for those eyes.

When the sky was gray, the chestnuts were almost full of bamboo baskets, and when she saw the mushrooms everywhere, Xiao Qing began to pick them with both hands, and according to her memory last time, she picked all the edible mushrooms.

Those dark eyes are still staring at her, and the yin wind blows into her neck from time to time, what is there in this Yao Mountain? Is it really as scary as it rumors?

Suddenly remembered that there was food in the bamboo basket where she put the mushrooms, which was brought for the strong man, in order to thank him for saving his life last time, if it was some kind of fierce beast that had been staring at her, then he would definitely be attracted by the fragrance of the white-flour meat buns and sugar-fried chestnuts.

After she made up her mind, she took the food out of the bamboo basket, wrapped the food, put it in a small sack, tied her mouth, and then placed it on the tree of an elm tree with a wooden stick, if those are fierce beasts, she must squat on a certain tree and smell the fragrance and take the initiative to take it, then she can also hear the movement clearly, see what the thing is, if it is not a fierce beast, will not be attracted by these food, and be seen by the strong man, I don't know if he will take it, if he doesn't take it away, he will continue to repay his kindness next time.

After putting the food, Xiao Qing picked the mushrooms and put them in the bamboo basket, about three quarters of an hour later, the elm tree behind him has not moved, and at the same time, the eyes seem to be gone, Xiao Qing looked back a few times, the food has been eating, she concentrated on picking mushrooms, and after a while, the bamboo basket was full of mushrooms by her, she saw the chestnuts and mushrooms, and she felt very satisfied.

Then she looked back at the food in the elm tree, and she was taken aback at this sight.

The food is gone!

At this time, the sky was also bright, and the surrounding sight could be seen more clearly, Xiao Qing observed the traps and fishing lines she was arranged, there was no movement, except for the sound of the wind, everything else was empty.

Not human!

After Xiao Qing knew that the other party was a fierce beast, she was not so nervous in her heart.

She threw the two full bamboo baskets in place, and went to the place where the mung beans grew alone to see the growth of the mung beans, and then looked at the soil and barrenness of the mung beans.

She touched the tree next to her, stepped on the long withered grass, and walked all the way to the low ground of the deep mountains.

The more you go into the mountains, the more humidity there is, smelling the air here, Xiao Qing's heart jumped with joy, she thought last time that mushrooms and mung beans can grow in the deep mountains, there must be water sources here, if there is a water source in the mountains, she will be able to open up wasteland in the mountains in the future, and then she will change some fertilizers in the system mall, peppers, mung beans, wheat, and rice can be planted.

Last time, I glanced at the mung beans from a distance, this time I took a closer look, and I only felt that the range of eyes was too narrow at that time, the wild mung beans here grew very well, and some of the shells were already black, but most of them were still green, and it would take a few more days.

She walked south along the place where mung beans grow, the more she walked, the happier she became, there were a lot of mung beans growing here, among which there were a few tall sorghum trees, among which there were some weeds, the terrain was flat, the soil had plenty of moisture, Xiao Qing walked along the gravel road next to him, probably walked a stick of incense, and then the mung beans were gone, and the road to the mountain was in front.

Xiao Qing looked back at the road he came over, and roughly calculated, this piece should have more than a dozen acres of land, although there are still some gravel in the soil, but when the time comes, just pick up the gravel.
